Help New Firmware?

[pegasus21]

This is what I gathered from another forum. http://www.androidiani.com/forum/31294-post17.html

I7500XXIFF

I7500 = model number as you already know
XXX = Provider branding code. There's a list on the other forum but I don't think it's that important to know what it is.
I = Year the firmware was compiled. "I" being 2009
F = Month. A is Jan. L is Dec. So F is June.
F = Build No. This refers to the build number for that month. So I assume this is in hexadecimal since the other builds have numbers.

Then that would make your release a build 15 or so of June 2009. The latest is now standing at Build 2 of August 2009.

XXX = Provider branding code. There's a list on the other forum but I don't think it's that important to know what it is.

Actually I think XX in this case refers to the region the firmware belongs to, not the provider.

XX: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
XE: Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine

Oldest: I7500XXIFF (Germany, 2009, June, F)
The crappy upgrade: I7500XXIG8 (Germany, 2009, July, 8)
This new one: I7500XEIH2 (Russia, 2009, August, 2)

wow
something is happening already, glad to know my galaxy is

baseband version: I7500XXIFF
kernel version: 2.6.27 hudson@andy #1
build number: 76XXCSDCBALUM6375
kam how many version from your current im away,lol? would it be worth for me to update?

There's:

Shipped version: I7500XXIFF (Germany, 2009, June, F)
From http://firmware.javer.sgh.ru: I7500XEIG1 (Russia, 2009, July, 1)
Official Upgrade: I7500XXIG8 (Germany, 2009, July, 8)
From http://firmware.javer.sgh.ru: I7500XEIH2 (Russia, 2009, August, 2)

I would say its definatly worth the update. The whole phone is alot faster. But its going to be released in the UK this week, so perhaps we'll see yet another version there?

by the way does the battery last longer?

It seemed to last night, but i woke up this morning to a 25% drop. I suspect its a program I installed. This happened last time i set the phone up from scratch.

hows rebooting stuff?as mine never rebooted itself and everything seems to work very good.

No reboots yet. I checked the uptime, and its not rebooted since last night when I manually reboot it. There's more RAM free, and everything is faster.

by the way did anyone try Ndrive? ive got it on mine and it works perfectly (uk maps) but today tried to install Easter Europe maps and it shows couple of countries but say lithuania latvia estonia doesnt show but when i connect phone to pc and check the maps directory it shoes that these maps are there?do you know what might be wrong? ups off topic a bit sorry. by the way i guess i should say sory as wel for not trying everything myself i just think im too new to android and i let everything come in small steps so i really appreciate what you guys do and try all the stuff on your phones.so should i upgrade or wait for better build?thanx

I use copilot myself so don't know!

If you don't mind setting your phone up again, then update! But if you hate doing that then maybe wait till next week and there might be an official even newer build out

thanx kam for info.maybe i'll wait a day or two before update ok?as i read on O2 forums that they shipped their upgrades already and some guys will receive them tomorrow but will be funny if they dont receive galaxies but some other phones as from what i read O2 upgrades dont actually know what they're talking about and what galaxy is so maybe they'll get some different phones. we'll see tomorrow.maybe i'll even upgrade it tomorrow.did you find any other bugs?and how easy/hard is it to upgrade to that russian firmware?by the way is there any russian forum about this phone so i could help you guys as im fluent in russian,lithuanian,ukrainian,polish a bit of german, french thanx

[gie62001]

uhh almost forgot DEGREE IN ENGLISH,hehe. thanx for reminding so if you guys need some help with translations from russian or any other eastern european site, you know where to find me,lol. will be glad to help

Awesome! I am heading to Italy for a week, so no firmware updates for me yet Hope there's a official one released before I come back

 

[legendary1022]

I have flashed this onto my phone. I have noticed that some apps disappear from the marketplace.

 

[kam187]

Yeah it looks like all roms except the german one have this problem. Google need to add their firmware ID's to their servers.

 

[pegasus21]

Wow, you know a lot of languages. That's quite a feat. BTW, the russian site with the firmware has a main site which is a forum... maybe you could take a look at that if you're interested.

 

[gie62001]

i just read some guys from 4PDA have galaxies and one guy (Vitali) updated with new firmware. by the way for that he's greateful to kam187 and Cheengiz who provided methods of how to upgrade it. so kam is even on russian site so he's experiences are as follows:

Первые впечатления от новой прошивки, итак приятное она русская, шустрее, мелодия звонка стала громче ну и чуть лучше аля нокия N95, ввод с клавы вроде как стал точнее ну типа сенсор четче работает, субьективно менее прожорлива к батарее, что не понравилось звонилка без русских букв, клава не очень както хотя работает шустрее, нету беквы

 

[gie62001]

damn i made alot of typind and grammar errors , huh unforgivable, hehe maybe becose i just woke up

 

[kam187]

Yeah H7 should be August 7th build! I'm updating again *yawn* [I hate reinstalling]

EDIT: So its only available to Italian PC Studio users. Someone uploaded the update file, but my PC Studio doesnt seem to like it. It simply contains image files so you could just flash these with adb. BUT this firmware is actually I7500ITVH2, the same as the one posted above.
So if you've already updated with the above method, there's no real point in updating to this, unless you really specifically want something from the italian build.
